Hi Philippe,
This looks good, but I think we could simplify that a bit by returning
std::vector objects directly, not dealing with new/delete. We would move
returned data in the existing vector. Would the patch below work? I think
everything is set up correctly move-semantic-wise so that there would be no
copy of vector data
.

Hello Simon,
I tested the patch, which effectively solves the leak.
For what concerns the move-semantic-wise: I cannot really comment on that,
as my c++ knowledge is very limited (only working with c++ on GDB at home,
never really learned it).
But valgrind does not show any increase in total nr of blocks allocated:
We see in the below that the unpatched GDB has 7 blocks leaked, and does
the same total nr of block allocations than the patched GDB, so that looks all ok.
The patched GDB allocates in total 2206 bytes more, probably irrelevant
difference caused by environment/file name differences/hash table differing/...
So, FWIW, the patch looks good to me ...
Thanks
Philippe
